5/9/2013 12:00:00 AM

Today at Adobe MAX, The Creativity Conference, Adobe announced a significant update to Adobe® Creative Cloud™, the company’s flagship offering for creatives.

Available in June, the updated program will include a set of Creative Cloud desktop applications (“CC” apps) and cross-device collaboration and publishing capabilities. Creative files can be stored, synced and shared, via Creative Cloud; Behance online creative community is now integrated with Creative Cloud, so customers can showcase work, get feedback on projects and gain global exposure.

Also today, Adobe announced a new licensing option for primary, secondary, and higher education institutions. The Education Enterprise Agreement (EEA) program is a term-based licensing program that gives educational institutions access to the new CC apps. Additional ways students, educators and institutions can purchase Creative Cloud:

*Creative Cloud for individuals – includes a membership offer for individual use by students and teachers available on Adobe.com and through authorized resellers

*Creative Cloud for enterprise – provides the best coverage model for institution-wide access to Creative Cloud apps and services under an Enterprise Term Licensing Agreement (ETLA)
